Every emotion passed through the small boy as he stared open-mouthed at his teacher, who's lips were moving but Kurt could no longer hear any of the words, any sound at all.
Finn had been hurt at football pracetice, and was in the hospital.
Everyone had known about Kurt having a crush on Finn a while back, but it went deeper then that. Kurt hadn't just crushed on Finn, he had been in love with him. He was still was.
Kurt blink, snapping out of his thoughts. He had a plan, because Kurt always always did.
"Mr. Schu, can we go visit him in the hospital? We could have our meeting there for today." Kurt Hummel smiled warmly.
The teacher open his mouth to say something about how that was a bad idea, but he was cut off by the rest of the club saying yeah, Puck throwing in a fist pump and yelling "Hell yeah!" Kurt rolled his eyes. Really, Puck acted like a child some times.
"Fine, fine, fine. We'll go, come on get your stuff."
It didn't take long to get to the hospital, and Kurt was first to see the sign by the door that read "Hudson, Finn" Kurt gave a smile, and waved at the others to join him, silently, at the door. They'd been to the hospital's gift shop, and all of them were carrying something. Kurt had chosen a teddy bear holding a heart that said "Get Well Some!" on it.
Everyone ushered into the room, to see a very shocked Finn laying on the bed, his left leg in a white cast and his hair ruffled. Rachel flung herself into Finn's arms, and Kurt stood off to the side.
It had been a great idea in Kurt's mind. He'd come and yell at Finn for being so careless, getting himself hurt. But now that he was here.. Watching Rachel usher around, demanding people give Finn room to breathe and fluffing his already fluffy pillows.. Kurt knew that would never be him, and it hurt.
Mr. Schu was the first to notice Kurt standing in the corner, clutching the teddy bear he was going to give Finn. "Kurt, are you okay?" Kurt just nodded, smiling at his teacher. Mr. Schu frowned, but nodded. The next time he saw his teacher he noticed him walking in the hallway, on the phone. Talking to who, Kurt hadn't a clue.
Then Santana had to ruin for everyone by looking at the clock. "Britney! Cheerios!" Britney gasp, and then the two girls waved bye to Finn and dashed out to tell Mr. Schu they had to go. He nodded and called for the rest of them to say bye to Finn and then they had to get going. Kurt set the teddy bear in a chair before leaving, only to get caught by Mr. Schu. "Kurt, I just talked to Finn's mom, she says she'll be here after work, but she is wondering if you can stay with Finn until then."
Kurt stared, forcing himself to close his mouth, and then nodded. Mr. Schu smiled and patted his back, leading him back into the room, where Rachel was kissing Finn goodbye. "I'll come back later, okay?" She dashed out, and Finn looked up at the two boys that just entered the room just a moment ago. "Hey, Mr. Schu, Hi Kurt." Mr Schu explained to Finn what was going on, with Kurt staying, and to Kurt's surprise, Finn didn't seem that unhappy about it. Not happy, but not upset either.
Kurt was sitting in a chair by Finn's bed a few minutes later, he was reading a magazine while Finn was watching sports.
"UGH!" Finn began grunting as he flailed in the bed.
Kurt looked over his magazine lazily. "What are you doing?"
"She got the pillows to fluffy!" Kurt rolled his eyes, stand up. He put his hands on Finn's shoulders, trying to calm him down.
Kurt pulled the pillow out from Finn's head, and flattened it, before leaning over Finn to put it back under Finn's head. "Better?"
Kurt finally looked at Finn, realizing how close they were, their bodies almost touching. Finn wasn't pulling away or shoving Kurt away, they stay like that for a while, and Kurt realized he was leaning in. Finn leaned up, and they were almost to each other then...
